...hearing empty promises. "Before Katrina, the man used to give us straight yes and no answers, and we liked that," says John Washington, 40, an owner of a small print shop who lives in the city's Ninth Ward, perhaps the hardest hit by the hurricane.

And in the wake of a second straight defeat, the first loss to Cornell since 2000, the first Ivy loss since November of 2003, and one of the ugliest offensive efforts in recent memory, it’s not hard to guess what the Crimson will be working on in practice this week.—Staff writer Lisa J.
